Description
AT78C1504 is a preprogrammed automatic device for controlling the write, read and
erase pulses to a laser diode power amplifier. All of the present DVD and CD write
strategies are provided in the device. Automatic power control (APC) and optimum
power control (OPC) are also included. Though the device is preprogrammed to pro-
vide signal conditioning of the NRZI data stream, it is possible through a serial
interface to adjust pulse timing, width and amplitude. Five DACs are provided to indi-
vidually control the laser diode power amplifier. The device is particularly suited to
controlling the laser diode power amplifiers from Atmel鈥檚 RF Division. Packaging for
inclusion on the PCBA or on the optical pickup unit (OPU) is available.
